Based on the fragility of Vatican finances, it must be reminded that the Obolo di Pietro, where the offers of the believers, collected 52 million euros in 2023 at costs for 109 million. And in 2024 theAssociation that represents the secular employees of the Vatican, Put black and white in a note A complaint for the Discretionary management of financial resources aside by the administration of the assets of the apostolic see (APSA), The body of the Curia that manages the economic heritage of the Holy chair: “How is it possible that, with a budget deficit that is concerned in a worrying way, how the secretariat for the economy often remembers us, especially on the occasion of the canon requests for professional growth, the OPS, instead, manages to receive approval that exceeds a reasonable obstacle? Are there other departments of the holy chair that have benefited from this “tear to the rule” and based on what reasons?“
In the same year, As reported ACI print” Jean-Baptisti de Frassu, president of the IOR Superintency Council since 2014In a meeting behind closed doors, the ESG criteria (environment, social and administration) had defined as “Not consistent with Christian principles“, As long as”converted into a political tool for the transformation of the company in issues as gender or other relationships“, So much even that the IOR”the distances of them“
The Pope of the poor
Pope Francis has been identified as a progressive also for him Positions considered as “environment” And because they have repeatedly taken the floor against accepting governments and politics against the climate crisis. It was these statements that gave him popular admiration and the Recognition as an influential world leader in fighting against social inequalities.
So he made himself known as one Pope attentive to the latter and often went on the floor Defense of migrants and poor. His first journey was in Lampedusa, in 2013, where he threw a flower crown in the Mediterranean, years later defined “A huge cemetery where many brothers and sisters are even the right to have a grave“
But it was wars that Pope Francis led more because of his assets Speak directly to communicate Almost in contrast to the Curia heterablishment (the world that it was strange and it should have reformed) and reduced the distance to the people. Although the most conservative law has identified it as a radical revolutionary, Pope Francis had a very moderate approachNot shy, in the switch from words to deeds and in recent years it has not been able to concretize a general revolution of the Catholic Church.
It was a pope who was able Speak the idiom of the internet and to be interested in technology themesBut its popularity will not leave no sign of real transformation of the church. He is destined to go out with his death. Or to be admitted by the communication of an equally present pope. Bergoglio had many primates of his: the first Jesuit pontiff, the first from South America, the first to broke the taboo of the name San Francesco. But not that of his herd has reformed.
